But, yes, like everyone has said before, there is a production tab hack. You can see what it looks like on youtube. | ||

Watch the replay from the zergs point of view. He doesn't scout AT ALL during the entire game (this guy is in masters) and uses hotkey 5 for basically everything.. hotkeying larva and stuff. | ||

Just because the guy canceled his lings after you scouted the 7 pool doesn't necessarily mean he was hacking. He could have wanted to rush, made the lings then hesitated and thought it was a bad idea and canceled. However there are two things that I think give it away: 1) When phoenixes are making the guy preemptively clusters his overlords together. For me that was the give away and not the hydra positions which could be luck. 2) The most convincing evidence however is when the rush comes. As everyone's said he immediately throws down like 4-5 crawlers the moment you move out? Too much of a lucky guess imo. On top of that, while you're making your way over there he brings down his queen from his main to help defend, knowing he has to hold that. At that point it's way too obvious. Besides, how do you get into master's league without even scouting the ramp of your opponent.. Doh! So ya, I agree that this has to be some kind of no fog of war on minimap / production hack. Btw, not very classy the way you stormed out of the game.... >.> | ||

I don't want to go too much into details, but all the information in the game is sent to your client, the game just says "no, you cannot watch it yet". Hence a maphack is available in the first place. But if all the information is sent to your computer, that means it can be picked up by any other computer on the network. I do not know how well developed the method is, but you can set up a second computer to show certain levels of information of the game by picking up packages. The only one I've seen in action is a unitmovement overview, but I wouldn't rule out the possibility of him having access to building and unit productions either. The data is all there, is just a question of how to extract it. Unfortunately, warden cannot detect this, as it is done on a completely different computer. So until they fix battle.net to use their own servers for hosting ladder games, maphacking will be a possibility. Whether you got hacked, I cannot say, but it is a possibility. | ||

I'm not convinced he was map hacking at ALL I'm sorry, I don't. I really really don't. He faked a 7 pool, hoping you'd over react. He played absolutely terribly (as if the opener wasn't enough to show that lol...?), using his first 100 gas, nearly as soon as a bad player would notice he had enough, and got a lair. Almost all Zergs that are bad think hydralisks are like THE coolest unit ever. And so he bundled his overlords together because hydralisks were being made, he wanted to protect them. I do the same thing, even if I don't scout a Stargate. He then had like 7 hydras and 4 zerglings and was like "Well, I have 2 bases, I bet I can make a bunch of spines for units". Because he's bad. And he did. And you happened to have moved out the same time because you scouted him with your phoenixes and saw 0 ground units, so you thought you were going to trample him. Some very telling signs that he didn't map hack include allowing constant phoenix harassment to work against him, and: when you built Colossi, he MADE A BUNCH MORE HYDRALISKS. Any person who was maphacking vision and saw Colossi tech would go straight roach, or pick up a spire. The many people who thought this was map hacking are falling for something that both falls into the fields of Psychology and Statistics. It's superstitious behavior. You're all the gamblers who went to the casino, won big when wearing non-matching shoes, and now never match your shoes when walking into the casino. Translate that mumbo-jumbo into real speak: You all saw he cancelled his 7 pool, and that he built spine crawlers, and even though the rest of the entire game doesn't go by the tendencies it'd have to follow to call this maphacking, you make up excuses for why things happened the way it did. Example: Oh he didn't stop the phoenix harass because it'd be too obvious. Come on: if he didn't want to be obvious about map hacking, he wouldn't make blatant hard counter at odd timings in the first place. You're all trying to reassure yourselves because something looked fishy. Bottom line: I watched it closely, unbiased, and I think he was a legitimately bad player. But legitimate. | ||

So it's you against... how many people? What makes you so convinced that you're absolutely right and the rest of us are wrong? "Almost all Zergs that are bad think hydralisks are like THE coolest unit ever." "And so he bundled his overlords together because hydralisks were being made, he wanted to protect them." Those are some interesting assumptions you're making there, and do you ever wonder why such a terrible player is in Masters? "Some very telling signs that he didn't map hack include allowing constant phoenix harassment to work against him, and: when you built Colossi, he MADE A BUNCH MORE HYDRALISKS. Any person who was maphacking vision and saw Colossi tech would go straight roach, or pick up a spire." "Come on: if he didn't want to be obvious about map hacking, he wouldn't make blatant hard counter at odd timings in the first place." He made inappropriate unit composition because he doesn't maphack, He made blatant hard counter at odd timings because he doesn't maphack. You keep harping on about how bad he is, yet you assume that he can respond perfectly to phoenixes with his slow hydras. Does maphack even exist in Starcraft 2? Allow me to try summarizing your mumbo-jumbo: "He did this.... cuz he's bad. and you just happened to do this at the same time. It's all coincidence man. And about that other thing... well, he's bad and that's why he did this. Come on, he's bad..." | ||

Any person who was maphacking vision and saw Colossi tech would go straight roach, or pick up a spire. Did you even watch the replay? He made a spire and massed corrupters before seeing any colossi tech or scouting (which he didn't do all game.) You, sir, are wrong. | ||
